Preparation
Ingredients:
2/3 cup of butter
¾ cup of white sugar
¼ tsp orange or lemon zest
½ tsp vanilla
4 tsp milk
2 cups of flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
Directions:
Cream together the butter, sugar, orange zest and vanilla. Add egg and beat until light and fluffy. Stir in milk. Sift together dry ingredients. Blend into creamed mixture. Divide in half and chill for one hour (I never chill it. What is great is that if you begin with cold butter then you can start rolling right away. OF course you need a mixer for that.) On a lightly floured surface, roll to 1/8 inch, or whatever thickness you like. Cut into shapes. Bake on parchment paper or a greased sheet at 375 for 6-8 minutes. Cool and ice.

Adorable! I've seen them before, but never with lights behind them - it makes them infinitely prettier!

These are so cute. You could string them up and hang them somewhere as decoration. Love the photo. It totally captures the idea with the lights.
